Exactly what were your expections from sorting the list? What did you expect the answer to look like? You can 'unlist' the list and then sort the elements:
> x[["A"]] <- 1:10 > x[["B"]] <- 4:12 > sort(unlist(x)) A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 A5 B2 A6 B3 A7 B4 A8 B5 A9 B6 A10 B7 B8 B9 1 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 12 > Is this what you want?
